Vice-chairman of District Development Council (DDC) Kupwara, Haji Farooq Ahmad, resigned from the Jammu and Kashmir People’s Conference (JKPC) on Sunday after being denied a ticket to contest from the Lolab assembly segment.
In a post on social media handle, “It is with great pleasure that I along with my whole cadre (workers and sympathisers) disassociate myself from JKPC with immediate effect.
“Although my time span in JKPC was short and hard I tried my best to make party strong. But the ideological differences, the internal, external and undue interference in party suffocated me,” he said.
Haji Farooq said that he is a ground level worker and connected with people.
“Since past two months I am deeply engaged with people holding meetings, doing deliberations regarding future course of action and I came to conclusion that the people are not satisfied with the ideology and conduct of party. I wish the party all the best for future,” he said.
